Boppin' Tonight

Boppin' Tonight is a song by the Fabulous Fontaines which was utilized in Fright Night. Written by music producers Gary Goetzman and Mike Piccirillo, it seems to be the only song ever recorded by The Fabulous Fontaines.

The song plays in the film on Charley's car stereo as he pulls up to his home and encounters the prostitute heading to Jerry's. Presumably Gene Vincent's Be-Bop-a-Lula was intended to be playing, as that's the song Charley's singing when he emerges from his Ford Mustang.

In addition to appearing on the soundtrack album, worldwide the song was issued as the b-side of the single for Fright Night by The J. Geils Band.

The releases are predominantly the same around the world, with poster art again adorning the front cover - the glaring exception is a white-label promo from Japan, which has a small photo of Amanda Bearse on the front accompanied by Japanese text.

In the Netherlands, they issued a 12" maxi-single. This edition includes the same versions of the songs cut in a less compressed format.
